What does a federal labor law that was passed in the 1930s have to do with today’s workplace? Plenty. While some employers may believe they can restrict employees’ email use, prohibit them from talking or complaining about wages and working conditions, or terminate a group of employees who engage in protests, federal labor law is a trap for the unwary. With the appointment of Wilma Liebman as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board and the nomination of two pro-labor attorneys to work alongside her, and with significant legislative proposals awaiting action in Congress, now more than ever employers need to know what steps to take to avoid legal liability while promoting a positive employee relations environment.
In this must-attend, complimentary seminar, we will explore the many ways in which the National Labor Relations Act controls what employers can do and say about employee activities, including:
- The most relevant and interesting labor law issues for non-union employers
- The most recent developments with the Employee Free Choice Act and compromise legislation
- Practical suggestions for avoiding, recognizing, and responding to union organizing before it begins
